Chapter Four // Cryptic Walls

Chapter Three // Cryptic Walls

Chapter Two // Cryptic Walls
What if there is some fortune waiting to be discovered inside the walls of the mansion? If I can sneak it out, it would be an enormous help in preparing for Eva to arrive in a couple of years. It might even be enough for us to live off the rest of our lives.
